Writing 201: Poetry–Through a Fog of Tears

Day Five: Fog, Elegy, Metaphor I knew when you were gone it would be hard to see you again – ever in that same way. I cried when you made the choice to leave. I let you go like silken strands slipping from my waiting arms blowing in a heavy breeze. I felt your presenceContinue reading “Writing 201: Poetry–Through a Fog of Tears”

I feel the steely bite of your casual refrain, Secure in the storm of my emotional pain, while Tears slip slowly falling down – I cannot explain.

Writing 201: Poetry – A Language Barrier

As part of Writing 201, I humbly submit my rendition of a limerick: My journey to England was long ago. One I am glad I did not forego. I even learned to drink tea.
